But it is up to you to decide what you would like to do, and realise that not every change that is submitted is accepted. Sometimes things that appear as "obvious problems" turn out to be there for reasons that are not at all obvious, so before you try fixing things it's usually a good policy to ask on the mailing list if it is something that SHOULD be done. there is a list at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ pick something simple, subscribe to current@freebsd.org discuss your ideas. code *fame* :-) Julian Elischer Daglish, Western Australia. (no, not really.. I have a house there but I'm in the US at the moment) talk to adrian@freebsd.org.. he's somewhere in Perth there.) > > Cheers >
